This book is one of rare ethnographic studies in Bosnia and Herzegovina about the COVID-19 pandemic impact on women of different walks of life. The authors discuss the challenges women faced while they were juggling between online work and family duties and how they were coping and adjusting to the new normal pandemic times with many restrictions and limitations. The book is divided in two parts: autoethnographic aspects of women’s experience during the pandemic and psycho-social aspects of their experiences with pregnancy, mental health issues, physical and psychological wellbeing.

The book is valuable contribution to ethnographic studies of women’s lives that are under-researched. Intersectional approach to women’s life encompassing different identities, social and cultural realms with patriarchal gender roles politics, bring on the surface a complex realities and coping strategies. Feminist methodological approach is particularly important in ethnography and autoethnography, because women are subjects of the research, they shape the research together with authors narrating their lives the way they want.
